When adjusting your car, you always have to think in terms of robbing Peter to pay Paul. In a perfectly setup car, you'd have a nice balance between grip and steering. You may also have a car that is setup to handle 90% of a tracks corners, but not do well in the others. It's always a balance.
When thinking about corners, there are always three parts to consider, corner entry, mid-corner & corner exit.
With that being said, when you add initial steering on corner entry, you are taking away rear grip on entry. More mid corner grip equals less mid corner steering.
Plus you have to consider what Symmetricon posted, sometimes making the car more comfortable to drive, less twitchy, would be faster overall for your driving style.

Forgot to answer your question Front & Rear shock tower positions and suspension arm shock positions will not have a significant amount of impact on on-power steering. Those are mostly other adjustments (weight transfer).
Shock position will mainly determine how the car handles bumps, corner steering (all 3 sections), faster or slower steering response, corner grip (all 3 sections) including side bite & car stability.

Hands down the best my buggy has ever been. I'm using kit Pistons drilled out and pro spec oil. DE on high bite clay, track is medium sized with a variety of features. Mostly smooth surface.

This is all very helpful- thanks! I'm noticing this going from my tight high bite small track, to a large medium bite track. My setup is geared towards the tight, small track with a ton of entry steering. Take it to the big track and its lazy coming out of corners at high speed. Feel like I need 2 cars.

Aluminum rear roll center holder: dirt edition
Anyone using these for the de? How about carpet? I'm only finding ones labled for carpet edition but don't know if there are any geometric differences. Exotek makes one too.
My track is super high bite clay and I added a 1mm shim in addition to the 2mm conical shim to help with traction rolling. I didn't realize I needed a 10mm ball end vs stock 8mm to prevent stripping. In any event, I've also read the aluminum rear roll center holder requires an additional 2mm shims as it is thinner.
Anyone have any experience with these either Xray or exotek? And are they interchangeable between de and CE? Thx

For anyone wondering about the roll center Bent mentioned the aluminum roll center is in fact only for the carpet edition. The roll centers are not interchangeable and do have different geometries. Hope this helps someone.
